I notice in the Telegraph that Tebbit is bleating 'why isn't Cameron 15 points ahead. I refuse to reply to the Telegraph ... but its because its a physical impossibility. We are already in the situation that in order to win tories need eye wateringly record swings never seen before. Tebbit forgets this, conveniently. he also forgets that the country is different from 97 and even more so from 79.

Also given labours core vote and the LDs and others its asking a lot to get over 40. Labour themselves last time only got 35.

Labour's voters have cocked the gun but will they actually chose to pull the trigger and blow their party's brains out? Tebbit should grow up.
